From the cellar - a little too cold on this cold night. More spice than the usual white and black pepper. Dried meat. See previous Delectable notes. An incredible Show Record:- Good Wine Guides Best Shiraz and Wine of the Year in 2011 - 98 points from Nick Stock. Giving more on the 2nd night. Incredible length of flavour - goes on and on. This has always been one of my favourite Australian Red Wines and I have tried to buy it on a regular basis but it has become very expensive (over $200) - no doubt because of its impeccable quality. Northern Rhone in style. Only 400 cases made. — 4 months ago

Drinking beautifully with our short rib. Great bottle and aged just fine. Fruit all there with a lot of elegance — 5 years ago
Deep purple in color with a short reddish rim.
Pretty nose with cedar, vanilla, wild flowers, chocolates, coffee and black pepper.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black fruits with cedar, earth, herbs, black pepper, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates and tobacco leaf.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This is a tasty red blend from South Africa. Soft and smooth with nice complexity. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.
Needed 4 hours to open up properly, so be patient.
A blend of 36% Mourvedre, 22% Shiraz, 13% Carignan, 11% Grenache, 9% tannant and 9% Petite Sirah.
14% alcohol by volume.

Interesting that there was a Sonoma bottle AND a Willamette Valley bottle. I tried the Sonoma one and loved it. Hubby said "too juicy," but I thought it was a great summer red. — 4 years ago
Low yield production that’s hard to come by. For anyone that’s visited laughing stock you can appreciate this wine with the unique process of fermentation. Vibrant aromas and deep rich color with a silky palate. Last bottle 😞 — 5 years ago
